    Probably explains why no Australian availability for HCP1200, the HCP1000 has ETA of next year Jan 2011 in Australia!

    Another thing I find funny is AMD/Intel would snipe any of our Moms on a grocery run if it meant good quarterly results, and you are forever whining about what feser did?

    no vdrop? absolutely false, every psu will have their 12v rail drop a little. im talking about 12v voltage regulation.

    pcper reviewed the turbocool 1200 http://pcper.com/article.php?aid=458&type=expert&pid=6
    thelab.gr reviewed the st1500 http://www.thelab.gr/power-supplies-...#content_start

    only the mighty hcp1200 regulates 12v better than any of the power supplies out there..at full load...

    You were talking about dropping under 12.

    Quote Originally Posted by Hondacity

    None of my units dropped under 12 while I was working on them, and taking into consideration I worked with quad SLI of GTX 480, or GTX 580, i980X under LN2 and all that, I think we can assume the stress is pretty hard on these PSU's. Further more, the PCP I am talking about is a little custom modified PSU, if you had the courtesy to click the link and check it our. Don't compare with retail version pls, it would be like comparing TPQ 1200 with TPQ 1200OC.


    Guys, I know technology is advancing fast and we are all enthusiasts, but please stop with this bashing of old things just because they are old and there is no marketing interest bsides them. That PCP model is 5-6 years old. Only now we see Antec or Corsair units that can match it. That makes me very happy, but that does not mean that the old tech is rubbish, on the contrary, it prove to be very long lasting. Same goes for the ST1500 which is one strong PSU and only a few can come close to it when it comes to taking the load.

    It is allways great to see new stuff pushed to the limit and it is allways great that the very high-tech stuff is getting more close to consumers. So yeah, kudos to Antec for this beautifull line of PSU's and to nickshih for this thread. This does not make everything else obsolete, though...

    the pcp&c 1200 is strong....ripple control is very very tight...but if you max its load capacity..the voltage regulation sucks...i saw your pic..its got adjustable rails.

    this is the hcp1200 thread...and both the pcp&c 1200 and the st1500...can't compete with the hcp1200's voltage regulation @ FULL LOAD.

    Well, I am very happy with my units, but I didn't work with the HCP1200, so I cannot comment on that. And I know this is the HCP1200 thread, but you asked me what PSU I used for quad SLI, and I answered, then you started comparing. I personally talk only from my own experiences with the units, so I cannot compare with HCP1200. Even though I see it looks like a killer unit from what nickshih has done with it

    well, if you cool the psu well enough this might work fine for months i guess...
    actually... if you would ln2 cool the psu, wouldnt it improve efficiency and you could pull even more power? hehehe that would be a fun experiment!

    i think it would actually ... but then again condensation problems might arise ... so i wouldnt do that ... maybe hipro5 can try it out tho
